ooc A Temporal Odyssey (Yes, DJ's back!)

[Zhooves 843]

A gijinka is basically a half human, half Pokemon. A sort of mutant, if you will. For example, if you were indeed a Riolu/Lucario gijinka , you'd have a human appearance that resembles the pokemon in question. You'd also probably be able to use Lucario's aura powers to rea emotions too.

 

There's an RP I'm in at the moment, where I'm RPing as a Gengar gijinka. It's called "Pokemon gijinka RP 3: Angel academy", and we happen to be short on students. If you'd be interested to join it, it would be awesome! (Just don't forget Temporal Odyssey! Lol)

 

I'm good at multitasking, so I would not forget~

Though I'd need to get more comfortable/familiar with the concept before joining an RP like that, though I guess you could tell me more about it in private as to not talk Out of OoC in the OoC-thread~

Another reason why I haven't been posting

 

We become better by doing. The important thing to remember is consistency, Red has not consistently been a psychopath, so him sounding like one appears out of character. (Just as him suddenly becoming Raiden and performing Zandatsu on guards who suddenly acquire assault rifles where the technology for them did not exist until that very second.  )

 

What has he been though? Hot blooded, impulsive, depressive at times, but willing to do anything for his friends.

 

He could inherent the element of loyalty.

That sounds pretty interesting actually. Not sure what Pokemon I would be like, definitely a fighting type though.

Honestly I really don't think I'm cut out for this stuff anymore.

Well, based on Steel Accord, I'd guess you'd be... A Honedge or something like that? Or maybe Lucario?

What? That's not true JP! You are cut out for this! Don't be getting yourself so down about it!

According to the Pokedex, Gallade is good at two things, chivalry and swordplay. By Arceus, I will capture one!

I have one in me team on Pokémon X already~

Gallade, with a combo with Gardevoir~

No, it's just I haven't seen people get critiqued here except for me. It happened in my other RP too

Okay, how did I not know before that you guys liked Pokemon? this discussion should have happened long ago! Lol

 

Gallade! How did I forget him? He's definitely got Anthony written all over him!

 

Pokemon team time anyone? xD I've got all my team levelled up and ev trained (yes, I have too much time... Lol). Mewtwo, Salamence, Gengar, Latios , Lucario and... Lopunny! Bit of an odd last choice, right?

Who doesn't like Pokemon?! Aside from the nuns at my old grade school, but they hated us as a rule. 

 

I don't really have a stand by team, but I guess I could make one up right now.

Okay, you want me to critique others too? Fine:

 

-Clover should not have become a Princess at all. Smacks of Mary Sue territory and diminishes her uniqueness as a character.

 

-Sterling, what's with the two timing on Evening? I know Maggie left but Blue Note and Sterling are spending an inordinate amount of time together on an island, you can't tell me the circumstance have not been similar to the original.

 

-Myself: You are not Indigo Montoya! Your predilection towards violence destroys the otherwise faithfully represented Equestria.

 

See? I'm just trying to help you, not pick on you.

You should be a fighting-type gym leader! You'd probably be a good bit more competent than them too!

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Well those are just the ones I recalled at that very moment, I got more.

 

The reason I didn't bring them up is because there's a difference between destructive criticism and constructive criticism. I'm giving you the latter. Trying to steer you in the right direction from my own learning as a writing major.

 

The things I cited won't lead to anything better because they are just part of what's happened, Clover's a princess and alicorn, my personal feelings are not going to reverse that. Maggie's gone and lincolnshire is the new pony, it only makes sense Sterling's calm, teacher-like persona would work to become close that quickly.

 

You, on the other hand, have a good character that's just being represented slightly wrong.

Funny you should mention, but during my frequent pondering of "who would I be in that world?" Gym Leader is where I think I'd be happiest in the world of Pokemon. I'd run my gym like a martial arts school and teach trainers and Pokemon alike how to fight, including alongside one another.

Or maybe you could be the Dojo leader like the one in Saffron City? Then you could focus purely on teaching people and pokemon martial arts!

Yeah, like that. Pokemon is a roleplaying game after all so why can't the player ever play roles other than a nameless Ash expy? Pokemon should play like the Elder Scrolls or Fallout. Hundreds of player options and factions to join. What if a player wanted to become a Pokemon Breeder like Brock? What if a player wanted to own their own gym?

 

What about you, DJ? What would do in the world of Pokemon?

Don't forget being allowed to play as a villain! Imagine being able to take over Team Rocket by overpowering Giovanni, and starting to take control of the Kanto region as leader of their dastardly operation!

 

In truth, I would want to go on a journey. I would want to travel each region, catch the strongest legendaries, breed a team of ultra-mon and explore the world with them. Bonding with such amazing creatures on a journey of self-discovering and an every adventurous life really would be my cup of tea! Just try and ignore all those Rattata skeletons in the PC that never saw the light of day after capture... xD

You sound like you are going for "the Touched" trainer feature. From the book:

 

"The most common of those given gifts of the divine are The Touched. Often Touched individuals are devotees of their benefactor, cultists of a mysterious faith or heroes of great renown. In other instances they were simply in the right place at the right time. The Touched have been blessed by a greater being. This blessing is not just a measure of faith in the individual, but a force that changes them physically, mentally and spiritually."

Umm... I'm not too sure I'm familiar with the "Touched". Could you explain it a little more for me? lol

I just gave you a description.

 

The Touched are Pokemon trainers that have in some way interacted with Legendary Pokemon and the experience was a positive and transformative one. Ash seeing Ho-Oh when he set out on his journey? Perfect example.

 

From your description, you would be a Pokemon trainer who was Touched by the divine and now actively seeks out similar experiences.

@,@@Steel Accord,  

My team on X currently consists of Gardevoir, Gallade, Lucario, Greninja, Charizard and Aegislash~

Though none of them are maxed, as I generally don't focus on EV and stuff (though I DO care if the lack of it leaves them with crappy stats)

 

Hm... Who'd I be in that world... I dunno. Probably some explorer, or maybe an Ice-leader of some sort... Ice and stuff just seems a bit more "me"-like, seeing as I like the cold more than most~

 

And aye, I have played Pokémon for a long while now... I believe our DJ was barely even on his feet when I got Red for GameBoy~

I guess I'm a bit of a perfectionist, because Ispend loads of time making sure each Pokemon is perfect! xD My team's all powerhouse sweepers, except for Lopunny, who uses attract to annoy the people it's all male teams She's pretty handy actually!

 

Red was first released in Japan in 1996, right? If so, I came into the world about the same time as Pokemon! It would've been around 1999 when it was released in the EU though... Hey! THat was the time when I was kicking Bowser's tail in Mario 64! Ah... To be three again.....
